Advan A3A need quick help

[Ivan141]

Later types of toyota lugnuts are often similar too.. (so it's not just the celica-supra specific stuff). I managed to get a hold of lots of those lugs at my local toyota dealership by just asking if they had anything similar. Out came a boxload of old nuts and the guy told me to knock myself out trying to find what I need. Ended up paying 5 euro's for 16 as-new lugnuts (non official pricing, but they know me by face and are glad to get rid of old crap).

Also still there is a question i am chasing for and that is if you don't have the wheel sitting on the hub what can this affect? I mean if you don;t use center rings on wheel hubs. There was some discussion on our local boards and those answers where really confusing, someone told it doesn't matter and some guy's told that your wheel can get loose after some time while driving. In wheel shop the seller just told me it is just for that you mount the wheel easily on the car, that's why you put it in . Mostly in wheel shop's you can get center rings from plastic with the box full of nuts with the new wheels.

I am again here with a question about Advan wheels i got as i mentioned those are 14x8J with 0 offset but there is trouble that the tires i use are a little bit round on sides i think it might require much wider tires. Currently i got 185/60 tires on it. What you guy's think i should use ? I am afraid of course if i use wider tires that those will not fit the wheel arches and i will need to use fender flares . ?

185 is not an extreme stretch for an 8J rims... zee germans like to use 175/55 for the same width when stretching.
Maybe Djexor can give you a ballpark figure of how it will fit with those sizes, but I'd say have a look at how much space you have left now and imagine what 10mm's more (195) width would do (5mm wider per side). If you go to a lower profile tyre, you'll also gain some clearance.

This is how 185/55 looks on an 8J R14 rim:

So, not too stretched...

Great! Thanks for the explanation Ivan and banpei

If you want to fit Advan A3A wheels maybe this information can be helpful. You can get center rings (some hard plastic) 72.5 mm (wheel) to 60.1 mm (hub) and than you can center the wheel properly. I was first thinking i will need to manufacture some metal center rings but this are quite good. I had tested the mounted wheels this week on our toyota meeting so i finally know the wheels are okay and are not damaged somehow (not any shaking).

Thread revival.

I need two Advan A3A wheels in 14x6.

Can anyone help?
